I’m 26... I started with a few figures of Transformers from the first live action movie. I was just going to pick up the ones that actually showed up in the movie and place them on the wall in package.

Then one day surfing eBay, I came across a huge lot of Spider-Man toys from the 90's which I used to own and play with, and the price was right. So I got them... and it all went down hill from there. I wanted more... I started hunting for as many as I could get to complete the set. Then after I got as much as the set as I could find, I went back to the Transformers Movie toys and got all the ones I was missing...

Then it just got worse and worse. Each new set of figures I saw that I liked or reminded me about something I used to own as a little kid I got into. Even if I didn't have the real funds to buy them I got them anyways, only because I figured that I could deal spending that amount now then later on down the road hunting it down only to pay x10 the original price.

I have calmed down a lot though... I don’t have a huge collection like some people. I have about 500+ all MOC with at least half of my collection packed away, the rest up on my computer room walls. But one of my biggest collections is Marvel Universe. I guess I got those only because I missed the whole Marvel Legends era and to go back and hunt all them down cost way too much.


That’s my story... don’t' know if it belongs in this thread... oh well
